Amazon help

Just went to buy something from Amazon, and as I've reached the checkout it's asked me to type in my password before I can buy the item. I'm already logged in, as my name is on their page above 'Account & Lists'.
I've bought stuff in the past from Amazon without having to type in my password.
Just before I added the item to the shopping basket a pop up appeared saying ''save £30 by clicking on this voucher'' which I did.

I'm now a bit dubious about buying the item as I pay with my debit card which is registered on their site.
Am I worried about nothing, or should I leave it alone?

ive never had this myself and i buy a lot off amazon. as you say once logged in its away you go.
no help tho am i lol

When in doubt leave it out…personally I never shop on Amazon horrid company.

Hopefully not the case in your instance, but…

personally, I would close down the browser

type into your search engine " amazon " make sure its the amazon.co.uk link, and go from there

it could well have been a spoof website or it could have just been the " voucher " was for the USA site and it needed you to log-in on that ( occasionally if I find a link thats the USA site, I have to log-in )

but play it safe and just make sure you are on the amazon.co.uk link and away you go

Agreed
Only wish more people would give them a wide berth.
The way they treat their staff is scandalous.

It seems strange I am a big Amazon user and never seen the voucher offer ?? I'd avoid it .

I'd also avoid using a debit card .

Apply for an Amazon credit card you may get an initial offer and you build up credits for money off on purchases with Amazon and externally like any other credit card.

I think the £30 offer is linked to their credit card and might be why you’ve been asked to sign in.
I sometimes get added to sign in again when I got to finalise purchases - particularly if I’m using private browsing (so the kids don’t find out) or if using the Smile version.

For sure, but most folk talk a good game but in reality are more concerned about their thirty quid off.

I got a voucher the other day from them something like £1.50 off the book I bought.
It all went through and I received the book.

Where do you end the action as well, after amazon do you stop drinking bottled nestle water. Do people walk around with a list of people they won't shop from, how come they'll buy from one big company but not another?

It's a big can of worms to be opening.

I don’t buy from Amazon because,
1. They hoodwinked me into signing up for Amazon Prime. (Got me £75 back)

2. They treat their staff appalling

3. Their unnecessary dumping of unsold product are disgraceful.

if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.

I get the amazon thing. I really do.

But where does it end for people? Nestle were outed on a Netflix documentary, we could obviously go on forever with the types of stories.

this is the correct answer, you must be selecting the £30 voucher for signing up to an amazon credit card, in order to sign up you must confirm your account details.

just do not select the voucher/card and continue your purchase as normal.

I guess you can draw the line at amazon, I am guilty of using them, while at the same time preaching about how it is important to support independant stores, its a tough one.

I avoid nestle more than I'd avoid amazon. Nestle are a genuinley evil company.

Amazon are almost impossible to avoid because almost every website is hosted on their servers.

I feel like a hypocrite because I slate amazon but it is just very convenient to use them for certain things. I think as long as you use independent stores as well there is no harm in using amazon from time to time.

They basically host everything and show sports now so are almost impossible to avoid anyway.

Exactly the same

Use amazon daily and generally the customer service is the best i've ever experienced. But I also slag off their tax avoidance often

Depends if you want to be a martyr

I just one of those things I've had to accept with amazon. Bezos is a **** but where else can I get a soda stream refil to my door within 24 hours :hehe:

Yep 100% they are a terrible company and a bunch of tax dodging bastards but they're very convenient to use for certain things.

I think eating meat is probably wrong but still eat meat too and still fly even though it is bad for the environment.

I think it's almost impossible to get through life without being hypocritical in some sense unless you have no morals at all or live off grid you may as well accept that certain things are always going to make everyone look a bit hypocritical.

Love or hate Amazon they provided massive employment, service those who struggle to get out and about , provide cheap products for those who struggle.

I think there's a danger when people make a stand against something that there's an expectation that they make a stand against everything - people going "well what about THIS then"

Truth is if you boycott/stop eating/protest against one thing, great. Even if there's still a lot of other bad things in the world you've still stopped contributing to that one. Trying to be better doesn't mean it's invalid if you're not perfect.

"Trying to be better doesn't mean it's invalid if you're not perfect." Absolutely correct.

I was just curious.

Thanks for the replies lads :thumbup:

I think I'll give it a miss rather than add my password to a site that says I'm already logged on.

Looks like I'll have to go out into the real world and do my Christmas shopping :furious:

Fek Amazon and fek Christmas :hehe:

I’ve definitely had to put my password in when I’m logged in before.

It usually happens when it’s been left signed into my account for a while and when I try to buy something it prompts for a password when it’s been a while since you’ve entered it.

As long as it’s Amazon.co.uk You’re on it should be fine

Amazon is very safe , their credit card controls are very good, if they detect an unusual spend they contact you before allowing the sale, you have 10 minutes to respond by text codes to proceed , my experience of the returning goods is exceptional .

Christmas is saved :malky:

I'm going to shift some money out of the account I use for Amazon first. That will involve me going to the bank and asking them to move it to my other account. I'm useless with technology :hehe: I'll leave £5 in the account and order something from Amazon for the same amount. Hopefully my £30 off voucher still applies and I'll be quids in.

Actually Bluetit is more advanced than me :frown:

I've no idea how to do multi quote, bold text or post a picture/video.
From what I can remember I got someone else to register my account on here ten years ago. I'm still at that stage now.

Well there's more important things to know how to do to be fair

Plenty of independent sellers on amazon though

some are sold by XYZ company but dispatched by Amazon
